Strawberries!

We finally got around to weeding our fruits after being gone a week (boy was it a lot of work, and I'm still not even done!). This was when we noticed that our strawberry plants have strawberries on them! Some of them were rotted (because we missed them---I didn't know they came this early), I got to eat about 10 of them (the ones that were ready for picking, obviously) and we still have a whole bunch that we are just waiting to get redder! This is our first successful thing we have ever planted and had grown. Last year, we haphazardly tried to plant potatoes (we did it way too late, never watered them, never weeded them) and we got teeny tiny spuds (that we didn't even end up eating). This year is hopefully going to be different. Our blueberries aren't supposed to get fruit until next year (we've been picking off the flowers to make the roots grow better), our apple tree is a few years, and I don't know when our raspberries come.

While we were gone, our broccoli pretty much died and is beyond hope (at least for us, we really don't have any green thumbs) but our tomatoes are getting bigger by the day. They still haven't made it outside yet because every time we want to do it, the ground is too saturated from all our rain. Our other vegetable seeds also haven't made it out yet and it may be too late. Perhaps we'll just plant them next year? I'm not sure. We got kind of lazy with our garden, especially since it's really started to heat up and get extremely humid (think like 95%+). So, we'll just have to see how much stuff we can get done while the sun's on its way down because our backyard sure gets a lot of sun during the day!
